Back after MANY years! (Durham NC)
I'm definitely not a "new member", but might as well be since I haven't been around here since before moving to NC in 2014-2015.
Originally from Buffalo NY, ran a company called SterlingSerpents (primarily breeding high-end Western Hognoses) through my undergraduate and graduate training. Took a break from the business side of the hobby after completing my PhD and moving south to NC for a job at UNC-Chapel Hill (did keep a nice collection and have slowly been getting breeders up and running again!).
Made it to my first show in ~8 years (after vending at almost every show I could make it to for years through grad school) and realized how much I missed it! Really looking forward to getting some of my breeding groups back in action, and getting to meet more folks still involved in the hobby!
They always say that you're never REALLY gone, and they aren't wrong!
